How did you like Burrows End on Dropout?
I'm a few episodes behind (just checked and I think I'm on episode six or seven? hard to tell cause I share my account with quite a few people lol) but I've really enjoyed it so far. Definitely more than I expected to which seems to be a theme with Aabria seasons for me (not that I ever doubt her prowess as a GM/storyteller, I adore her and think her work is incredible, but the premises she comes to the dome with are typically ones where I'm like, "huh, okay, I'll watch it but I'm not sure if this is my thing" but then it's my fucking everything—hello ACoFaF).
I'd say that my favorite thing is the interpersonal familial relationships. The acting and chemistry between the cast members is truly off the charts this season. I love Rashawn and Jasper, think they're incredible additions to the cast. The concept is unexpected but so interesting. I think the worldbuilding is really cool, the idea and themes/politics are well executed, and the dome effects and production design are (as always) top notch.
The one thing that I can think of, as of now, is that there are certain moments that can be hard for me to watch just from an anxiety perspective, partially because the acting is so good and the cast are so committed to these characters. Like, [light spoiler alert] there are moments with Ava and the kids where I just have to pause and walk away for a minute because they are stressing me out so much with their... (how to say this?) stubborness/forthrightness? It can be a lot sometimes.
But, overall, I've really liked it. Awesome idea, wonderful cast, great production. Only thing for me is that some of the characters have moments that are a little hard to watch (but even then, it makes sense for who they are and it's just for a bit; certainly worth watching cause it often drives the plot in different, more complicated directions).
Very curious about what others think about this season because, in many ways, it feels very unique to me. So, I invite you to share your thoughts (on this season and others if you're so inclined).
